HUMBER COLLEGE OF APPLIED ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY Free-wheeling and other fantasies Happy New Year- -it looks like it's going to be a rough one. At least

that's the way it looks for the Creative Arts department. After receiving a pre~Christmas present of resignations from three program-co- ordinators, Creative Arts is faced with the problem of finding people to fill the positions. (Mike Gudz, Tim Stanley, and Ed Thibodeau resigned their respective posts as co-ordinators of Photography, Interior Design and Fine Arts, December 21). However, Messrs. Gudz, Stanley and Thibodeau don't feel the pcsitloRS need filling- -not under the present structure. All three have advocated that drastic rt (Visions be made to the co-ordinator's job, if not, then the position should be abolished. Creative Arts Chairman Dave Chesterton is in complete agreement with them. He said Creative Arts doesn't need anyone except the chairman because it's "completely free-wheeling." No department can be that "free-wheeling" Mr. Chesterton! How are you going to keep track of the needs and problems of all the programs in Creative Arts? Do you have a Superman waiting in a storage closet up in Graphics? You should get one soon, because you're going to need it. What are you going to do when instructors come to you individually, to complain about their lack of money and classroom space? You're not going to have the co-ordinator middleman to make some sense of the requests and complaints before they come to you. You^re going to have to do all the sorting yourself.

Happy New Year from all of us in the Student Union and nnaybe we can see even more of you during this new year. O.K. what is the Student Union and how does it relate to you? That seems to be one of the most asked questions in the College.

First we are your political voice in the College. If it wasn't yours, the word "Student" wouldn't be there in the first place. At times we don't seem to be too visible but we are still there behind the scenes. We sit on the Student Affairs Committee as an equal partner making sure the students of the College are ably represented. We book groups for pubs and organize services and events for you. For example we have opened the Humber Attractions Ticket Office (H.A.T.O.) in conjunction with the Eaton's Attractions Office. The ofiPice is open every school day for one hour between 12:30 and 1:30 in the Concourse. So instead of going to an Eaton's store, you only have to go to the Concourse. Next, how does it relate to you in the College? Remember our output is only as great as the input we receive. If you have a problem or feel that something in the College should be changed let us know what it is and we'll try to do some- thing about it. We also show weekly movies, run the pubs in the pipe and the lounge, and are in the process of organizing one of the best Wirier Carnivals yet. We also financially support the magazine. Rivers Bend Review. This is a publication that I comes out monthly and is intended to promote Canadian talent, with the first call given to the students of the College.

The Student Union is sponsoring the Toronto Closed Chess Tournament from January 27 to March 3. This tournament will invite the twelve top players in Toronto and they will be playing at the College. The tournament runs each Sunday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Monday from 6 p.m. to midnight, for the length of the tournament.
